Invest Yourself

This weekends edition of the Financial Intelligence Report is up, and this week we're discussing Gold, Silver, and the miners. Why I'm in some of them, why I think they're looking good and why it is important to have some. We also look back at our history of suggesting the metals, starting in 2000, and why they're more important in 2016. I invite you all to come take a read of it, it is absolutely free.

Today’s letter is going to take a bit of a twist from our regular Sunday letters. Not long ago I mentioned our “Vegas Play” in one of the free newsletters, and it caused a lot of buzz. When you send out a letter that goes to tens of thousands of folks, you will get praise mail, hate mail and everything in between. Well, I got push back from some saying I was just sensationalizing a lucky play to drum up more subscribers. So with that in mind, I want to do a bit of history searching, and see if that’s really what I was doing.

I have been a precious metals bull in Gold since 2000. I pounded the table on it, and even said in one particular newsletter that “I think we’ll see gold at 1000 dollars an ounce within ten years”. At the time I wrote that, gold was 295 dollars an ounce. I was soundly mocked and laughed at as a lunatic. As Gold rose higher and higher I continued to tell folks that I was still buying it and it still looked great.

What a week it's been. Yellen Chickened out of talking tough about interest rates, and the market loved that. The market then expected the Japanese Central Bank to come out with an even bigger QE program and see them buying more ETF's and individual stocks. But no, Kuroda pulled a fast one on them and did NOTHING extra. So all the stocks and currency swaps the Street had bought in anticipation had to be unrolled. As they were doing that, Carl Icahn came on CNBC Thursday and said he had sold his whole stake in Apple, and that he wasn't too positive about the overall market. That sent us down 200 points. Today should be interesting to say the least. Do they once again "buy the dip", or do they let the rug get pulled? You'll know shortly.

Well it's not only Friday, but it's a special Friday for me. Yes, today some 59 years ago I took my first cry after being slapped on the butt. While the fact is I look at Birthday's as "just another day", the wife went ahead and made my favorite triple layer Chocolate cake, so YES! It IS important! How can you not have a smile when you know that later today you're going to overindulge in birthday cake?

Last night we got confirmation that every single thing I ranted about in the newsletter was spot on. Everyone and his brother was convinced that the Bank of Japan was going to increase their QE program and thus knock down the yen, and boost stock prices. So they got positioned for that.

While there’s a million things I’d like to write about, I keep trying to hammer one point over and over, because it is indeed “that important”. What is that point? If you truly see what they’ve been doing, you’d have to admit to yourself that we’ve entered the twilight zone matrix-like market.

Because I pump out 2 letters a week for over 20 years, it becomes hard to follow the plot sometimes. Hey, I get it. We talk about a lot of things in these letters. But there are “big themes” that don’t change week to week and it is the big theme that I’m talking about right now.

Yes folks, today is Fed day. Today the merry band of un-elected criminals get to tell us what they're going to do concerning monetary policy and interest rates. While there's no chance of a rate hike announcement, everyone and his brother will be scanning the release to see if Yellen is going to remain "Dovish" and talk softly, or lean "hawkish" and warn that a rate hike could be coming in June. Oh and by the way, I'll be posting the Financial Intelligence report at about 6 pm, where I'm going to lay out exactly how and why the Central banks ( our Fed included) are propping up the stock market. You'll want to read that one.

Today we'll get the decision of the FOMC concerning interest rate policy. I can't wait to see what mumbo-jumbo they spew this time. While the chances of them announcing a sneak rate hike are about 0, the interesting part will be if they "talk tough" about possibly doing something in June.

First off, let me say I have no clue why yesterday's 1 pm update didn't go out. I did the usual routine, and it did post just fine to the web site, but for some reason the Emails, didn't go. I'd like to blame Constant contact, but as of right now I can't, it seems I fumbled the ball somehow on my end.

Hi everyone, welcome back from your weekend. As is my custom, I hope yours was as wonderful as it could be. In the big picture this will mean absolutely nothing, but it is sort of "neat"to me. The wife and I have a routine on Sunday's and in that routine part of it is that we take a 5 mile bike ride which terminates at Casperson Beach. Once we make it to the park, we lock up the bikes and take about a one mile stroll down the beach and lay out our beach towels. Casperson is the "shark tooth" capital of the country and I've literally found several hundred of them. For the most part the bulk of them are about the size of a grown man's thumbnail.
